> The simple act of tracking things - even with no intent to change - typically makes me eat far less, or do the activity far more.

When I started tracking things so closely, I was already concerned that I’d been losing weight and feeling very strong cravings for sweets which I don’t usually care for. The effect wasn’t that I ate less: I started making an effort to eat more, again much like I used to eat. The biggest change is that eating enough has been a concerted effort rather than fairly automatic.
